Well, it's been 5 days now, and I'm still all tingly from the post-coital afterglow that washed over me from seeing Watchmen in IMAX last Friday.

In case you couldn't tell from my last post, I thought it was aces.

Anyway, I wrote a few months back how I bought a scanner and was slowly (not slowly because its a difficult process, but slowly because I'm lazy as shit) taking all my old photos and getting them scanned into my computer.

I know the last time I had put some of my pics up for all of you, I had promised to put some more up soon. That was about 8 months ago now.

"Soon" seems to be a relative term for me.

Anyway, as I was going through an old folder looking for more pictures to scan, I came across some of my "old girlfriend" sketches.

I didn't even think i still had these, but lo and behold, there they were, hiding out for all these years buried way in the back of my closet.

I'm not sure exactly "why" I used to feel compelled to sketch every chick i ever went out with in college. I guess I thought it was artsy and romantic. Now it seems, oh i don't know... whats the word for "the opposite of artsy and romantic"?

"Cheesy and Perverted"? Maybe.

Anyway, like I said I found a bunch of them.

Since, as a rule, I don't really mind being made fun of, when I started this post I had intended to just show you all of them, but for once in my life discretion is taking the reigns....

.... Not enough for me to just NOT show them, however.

How about just one?

I remember at the time when I drew this one, i was really proud of it.

Now that a decade or 2 has passed, I can't help but look in horror at the stunted little midget arm that I gave my poor girl while she was looking so sexy posing for me. Every time I look at this picture, try as i might i cant look away from that damned little appendage.

She had two "Normal-sized" arms, I swear.

Anyway, because I don't have enough self-confidence to leave that picture up as my legacy, and maybe because thanks to the Watchmen i still have superhero-y goodness still percolating in my brain, I might as well put up one of my favorite sketches that i did a few years back. I've shown this one before, but that was pretty much when the only people who were reading this site were Earl and..... me. And Earl didn't come by too often.

I know i have a ton more of these somewhere buried in my mother's attic.... one of these days I'll need to rummage around in there until i find them.

Wow. That last one is GREAT! And I didn't laugh at the first one. I though "how cute and sweet" and then read below it. "stunted little midget arm" and about spit out my iced-tea. Seriously, I had tears in my eyes and made my co-worker come over and look at it!
